Tattersalls Ireland has added a new sale to their portfolio for 2016. The sales company has announced the inaugural November Breeding Stock and Foal Sale scheduled for Nov. 4, a one day sale which will be the first opportunity to purchase flat foals and breeding stock at auction in Europe this autumn. Roger Casey, managing director of Tattersalls Ireland commented, “Tattersalls Ireland is delighted to introduce the new November Flat Breeding Stock and Foal Sale. Consultation with both vendors and purchasers strongly indicated that a new, competitively priced option for quality, commercial breeding stock and foals would be a welcome addition to the Irish sales calendar, and this new sale will fulfill these requirements. The growth in our September Yearling Sale in recent years has clearly demonstrated the international appeal of sales at Tattersalls Ireland, and the combination of commercial breeding stock and foals with the perfect 'curtain raising' date in the calendar will accommodate both purchasers and vendors in equal measure.”
Paddy Kelly, a regular consigner at sales in Ireland and Britain through his Ballybin Stud and based only five miles from the sales complex voiced his support and added, “To have an alternative, well priced option for good commercial stock, in an established and proven international sales venue like Tattersalls Ireland, can only be seen as a positive move for Irish breeders.” The sale will lead into the traditional November National Hunt Sale which will kick off Nov. 6.
